Whatever any one says about WD, they will always be in my heart.
When my 3 yr. old broke one of my Magic Knight Rayearth discs, I called the company for a replacement and at first was told they had no copies left, but an hour later, I got a call and they found the last copy, I sent in the $13.00 and the busted disc and was a happy camper.
Since then, I made it a point to purchase every game that they put out for the systems I own, and I have not been dissapointed with the quality of the products.
Will any body step up to take their place?
I'll miss the great packaging and conversions?
Hail the mighty dollar.

Yeah, Working Designs actually made stuff that you looked forward to. There was no other feeling than arriving home with your new 10 ton Working Design package and plundering all of the cool loot inside. It took ages just to look at it all. It's a crying shame that WD had to be disolved. Any company that takes that many pains over book binding detail is special indeed.

The Vanguard Bandits hardcover manual absolutely was the best. I cherish mine.

Minus the extra pack-ins and stuff, Atlus, Nippon Ichi, and Hot-B are doing a decent job at satisfying the Western niche gamer.

The problem with WD is that they had stopped releasing games. When Growlanser came out, it had been well over 2 years since their previous release. That was when I knew they were dead.
